In Charlottetown we visited Confederation House which is where our fathers of confederation held the Charlottetown Conference back in 1864 to create Canada. The House was built in the 1830's or 40's, and was used as the legislature building back then as it is today - it's the second oldest legislature building in Canada after Nova Scotia's.

We were planning to meet a reporter from the local paper, The Guardian, outside. but when we pulled up, the only place to park was occupied by a delivery truck. The reporter kindly asked the delivery men how long they would be there, and they just replied by asking if we needed to take some photos. They graciously drove around the block a few times while we snapped some pictures and did a quick interview. Thanks guys, whoever you are!

Kevin went back to the hotel to check us out of the room and Scott went for a quick 20 minute tour inside Confederation House. It was quite small inside, but he said it was a very beautiful old building, and that he was the only person in the tour group since tourist season hasn't yet arrived - usually a spot like this is teeming with tourists.

The nicest room was the confederation room, which Scott got a nice picture of. The tour guide noted that PEI actually had an elected senate prior to confederation, and that if little 'ol PEI had that figured out before confederation, "why can't we figure out an elected senate now?" Good point!
